The Citadel Statement aims to t ell European and National decision makers what local government needs to successfully implement eGovernment services

Vision, Requirements and How-To manuals, but still struggling

First of all we named the document….

Started with five entries from Brighton How many entries did we end up with

Close to 130 individuals from 18 countries all over Europe representing 64 organisations from over 200 cities across 5 continents!

Genuine result of online collaboration with experts and stakeholders from across Europe Only two of the final ‘winners’ are based on input from the Brighton Workshop – which shows that the experts don;’t always know best even when they are actually working from the bottom up And some came as a complete surprise

Build central applications for use by the local communities...
